James Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Undroppable in my opinion. Do not underestimate the fear he creates in opponents, and until we can find someone else offering a genuine quantifiable threat from free kicks and long shots he needs to start, preferably at left back where he has the least effect on the team. If there is a particularly tricky or pacy opponent, just switch him to the other side. I bet you're not saying that after the Liverpool game. He played well against one of the worst teams in the division today. As for his free kicks, we've got two other players who are at least as good as he is at taking free kicks. I can't believe anybody would think he's undroppable and we should fit him in on the right if he's up against somebody. Like Best, he’s good enough as back up. It is the psychological effect of having him in the team, although Ba and Cabaye are capable of scoring free kicks, it is Taylor with the reputation for it. Players and managers are scared of their team giving away free kicks. This plays into the hands of Ba, Ben Arfa, Best, Jonas and others. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see any of that, first and foremost I want our defenders to defend, if they give us something in addition then that's a bonus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see any of that, first and foremost I want our defenders to defend, if they give us something in addition then that's a bonus. A huge strength of our team is that we attack and defend as a team. Defensively, organisation is key, and of what I have seen, a Perchless team can defend. Conversely, is Taylor worse than Griffin or O'Brien? However offensively we are pretty one dimensional at the moment, i.e. Ba (although to be fair there are many dimensions to his play). Therefore having defenders such as Coloccini and Taylor who both make a huge offensive contribution is invaluable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimburst Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Santon has far more offensive contribution from what I've seen, since he knows how to kick a football along the ground. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
garth Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I get the feeling when ever gets the ball he'll do lot more with it than what Taylor would. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Santon proved against Swansea what we've missed from LB. Raylor does a job but we need someone who can command the line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colocho Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Canny assist, that was it. FAO James, Santon, if fit though, should always start ahead of Raylor imo. Or both should start ahead of Simpson... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Errol82 Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Agreed. Simpson is a liability. Santon at the rb and Raylor at he lb would be the best solution at the minute. Simmo needs a couple of games on the bench, and a reality check! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I agree it's hard to drop him when he delivers better set pieces than anyone else. Indirect freekicks and corners etc. Would have him ahead of Simo in most league games and dropped altogether when faced with genuine class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
